Modric to MARCA: Milan and Real Madrid share history, tradition | OneFootball

The 2018 Ballon d'Or winner and current Milan midfielder, Luka Modric, shared his story in a long interview with Marca, a well-known Iberian newspaper. The Croatian spoke about his extensive experience at Real Madrid, which concluded last summer after more than 10 long years serving the Blancos.

Milan, Modric shares his story with MARCA: “Rossoneri similar in history and tradition to Real Madrid”

These are the statements from the Croatian midfielder to MARCA's microphones: “After Real Madrid, wherever you go, it's a step back. It's undeniable, and all players can confirm it. I believe I have arrived at a club that, for its history and reputation, is very close to Real Madrid, and for me, it's the most ideal situation that could have happened. Especially because I grew up with Italian football; Milan was my favorite team..”

“Real? It was love from the first day. It didn't start after the tenth or the second Champions League, but from the beginning, when I arrived with all the difficulties that were there. From the start, I felt this love and devotion from the fans, who understood that I was the right person, and this inspired and motivated me to repay them in the best possible way. Goodbye to Real? I've always said it: they weren't just empty words or flattery for the fans, the club, or anyone else: my sincerest desire was to retire in Madrid. But, simply put, everything has a beginning and an end. Sometimes things don't go as planned…”
